Unnamed lake

An unnamed lake is a body of water with no official nor generally agreed upon name. Such a lake is officially nameless though it may have one or more unofficial names used locally. This is common for many tiny lakes, farm ponds, and minor lakes in remote areas.

A lake designated as unnamed can be distinguished from a lake actually named Unnamed Lake by its capitalization. Some lakes named the latter are:

• northwestern Montana, U.S. 47°45′22″N 113°04′08″W / 47.756°N 113.069°W / 47.756; -113.069
• northeastern West Virginia, U.S. 39°33′11″N 78°15′36″W / 39.553°N 78.260°W / 39.553; -78.260, which has been re-designated by GNIS as Unnamed Lake on Tr-Sleepy Creek Dam.^[1]
